Garland police say it started with a suspicious
person call at a Kohl's Department Store along the President George Bush
Turnpike.

Police say two men tried to take off with a bundle
of clothes worth nearly $2,000.

One person, identified as 49-year-old Jimmy Orlando
Wheeler, was arrested inside the store, but a man in a pickup outside drove
away and went the wrong way on PGBT, leading police on a high speed chase.

“You could
hear all the sirens, and from the moment I looked down the street, I knew it
was a car chase," said witness Able Martinez.

A short time later, the driver of the pickup truck,
identified as 38-year-old Clinton Lang, Jr., pulled off I-30 and into Rowlett
at Broadway Road.

Lang then bailed out and ran onto I-30 westbound. A
police officer ran after him as Lang jumped over the median. That's when he was
tased by the officer. He fell in the eastbound lanes of I-30, where he was
narrowly missed by passing cars.

“I was just shocked, I was like 'oh my God, this
man’s going to die' like, this is a busy highway right here," said Belanie
Rancie, another witness.

A Garland police officer was able to stop traffic
and pull Lang to the service road. Paramedics checked him out before being
transported by police.

"I thought the first thing that was going to
happen was he was going to get shot, but tased. They did a a great job, man. They
really did do a great job they apprehended him without bringing any harm to
him. So, so, great job for the officers for keeping us safe," said
Martinez.

The deputy who tased Lang declined to comment.
Sheriff's officials said they will conduct a routine investigation for the use
of force.

Rowlett and Garland officers were involved in the
initial chase, but Rowlett officers backed off when Lang left Rowlett's city
limits.

Investigators said store security guards recognized
Lang and Wheeler from similar thefts in Arlington and Plano.

Both Lang and Wheeler were transferred to Dallas
County Jail on Wednesday.
